Ms. Namita Nayyar:
While playing professional sports, athletes often face injuries and other difficulties, would you like to tell the audience about how to cope up and make a comeback after an injury?
Ms. Alaine Chartrand:
I’ve been very lucky in my career to have avoided many serious injuries. That being said, I have had 3 ankle sprains, a concussion, food poisoning, and countless smaller injuries that have caused setbacks. Most recently, just days before the 2017 National Championships I sprained my ankle in practice. It was a brutal 3 days not knowing if I would be able to compete at all. I taped up my ankle, iced frequently, took Advil and managed a season best short program score, a bronze medal, and earned a spot at the Four Continents Championships. Injury is definitely the worst part of sport but if you deal with it in a smart way then you can get through it and come back just as strong or stronger. These experiences teach us so much and develop our character.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
With a massive following who look upto you and follow you, how does it feel that you are able to influence and inspire the healthy lifestyle of so many individuals?
Ms. Alaine Chartrand:
This question always gets me because I really just feel like a regular person working towards goals the same as anyone else. I have many role models that I look up to and am inspired by and to think that I am that person for others is surprising to me but also very flattering. I hope that through my journey in sport I can show that the people you look up to are really just like you and have been through the same things to get to where they are now. I hope that through my skating career I can have a positive impact on other skaters and people alike.
